Whereas Winston was generally unpleasant, but not corrupt, Gaspen was a darker version of his older brother; even apparently using falsified evidence in court. He constantly claimed to be a gentleman, but would badger young women in court to the point that the judge had to intervene. However, Gaspen was just as smug and arrogant as Winston.

Gaspen Payne is a prosecutor and the younger brother of the "Rookie Killer" Winston Payne. He is said to be somewhat more villainous than his sibling, as he is not afraid of using dirty tactics in court. He was the prosecutor for the trial of Juniper Woods for the bombing of Courtroom No. 4. Like his brother, Gaspen also has self-styled titles: the "Rookie Humiliator" and the "Defendant Humiliator".

The darker Payne.

Although Gaspen managed to almost defeat the presiding defense attorney Athena Cykes, Phoenix Wright took over and soon had Woods acquitted and the true culprit, Ted Tonate cornered. However, a desperate Tonate pretended that a training bomb he had was a live one that would soon go off. Gaspen fled with the rest of the public, leaving Wright and Cykes (with the judge also remaining) to prove that his bomb was a fake and that he had killed a detective. Although everyone else returned to the courtroom to hear Woods' Not Guilty verdict, Gaspen was apparently still running.

Later that month, after beginning to undo the "dark age of the law" with Wright's help, Gaspen heard that Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth was planning on paying him a visit to discuss falsification of evidence, once again causing the "Rookie Humiliator" to bolt. However, that did not stop Edgeworth, who proceeded to give Gaspen a severe salary cut for his actions.

Gaspen Payne's mugshot.

Whereas Winston was generally unpleasant, but not corrupt, Gaspen was a darker version of his older brother who apparently had no qualms about using falsified evidence in court. He constantly claimed to be a gentleman, but would badger young women in court to the point that the judge had to intervene. However, Gaspen was just as smug and arrogant as Winston was prior to his loss at the hands of Mia Fey.

Gaspen has a slightly less shrill and more confident voice than his brother (or is at least less shrill when objecting) and generally has a smug smirk on his face, which contrasts with Winston's high-pitched voice and usually woebegone look. However, despite these differences, he does share several similarities with his brother, such as tapping his forehead with his right hand and reeling back in shock when the defense starts gaining the upper hand. He also is known by the nicknames "Rookie Humiliator" and "Defendant Humiliator" (alluding to his brother's nickname of the "Rookie Killer"), although these appear to be monikers Gaspen has bestowed upon himself rather than earned by reputation.

Name

  • His Japanese surname "Auchi" (亜内) is a Japanese romanization of the English word "ouch".
  • His Japanese given name, "Fumitake", is a simple reversal of the two halves of his brother's Japanese given name ("Takefumi").
  • His full English name "Gaspen Payne" is a play on "gasp in pain". This not only matches the meaning of his Japanese surname, but is also similar to his older brother's name pun (Winston Payne; "winced in pain").
